Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! In this episode, we’re discussing fundamental concepts that are taught in first-year Con Law classes. First, we’ll look at justiciability – the set of threshold doctrines that decide whether a federal court is allowed to hear a constitutional case in the first place. Then we’ll move to the individual rights side and dig into the single most important analytical tool in the entire area – the levels of scrutiny (sometimes called standards of review). We’ll finish by working through a fact pattern that ties it all together.

Then we’ll take those building blocks and apply them to the single most heavily tested topic in 1L Criminal Law – homicide. We’ll see how the different homicide crimes are really distinguished by the defendant’s mental state, and we’ll work through a fact pattern at the end.

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we’re diving into a fundamental concept in legal trials — evidence. We’ll discuss the foundation that evidence is built around – relevance, and then we’ll focus on the most important topic in all of evidence – hearsay. We’ll learn what hearsay is, why the law distrusts it, and the major ways it still gets admitted. And we’ll finish with a fact pattern that illustrates how hearsay is tested on an exam.
